DeArmitt and I tryed for a short hunt yesterday morning at a farm dating to the 1860s give or take a couple of years. He found a decent flat button that was missing the shank and I found the top of a pewter spoon. The hunt was cut really short because I got called into work, it was my week to be on-call. 5 hours later I got home. It was getting towards evening. My daughter was working and my wife was napping so we headed back out for an hour or so before dark. We went to the old brick place that we have taken a good many largies out of this year. DeArmitt got a thimble and a key. I got the Biggest button I've ever gotten ! Check it out compaired to the Large Cent I also found. We shot some video and posted it on youtube. It's 15 minutes long so I didn't post it here but this is the link if you got that much time to spare. Added, Didn't know that if I posted a youtube link it came up here, Like I said it's long.



Happy Huntin,
Bob
